ROCCAT Vulcan TKL Pro Tenkeyless Linear Optical Titan Switch PC Gaming Keyboard with Per-key AIMO RGB Lighting, Anodized Aluminum Top Plate, and Detachable USB-C Cable, Black

I am extremely picky when it comes to keys. I usually prefer low profile keys. However, these keys make it to the top 3 for me and I enjoyed them so much I bought a second keyboard. Only reason being that I really missed a numpad for what I do. The software is full featured enough though my version was flakey and auto update didnt work and forced me to restart for it to even open again. Your mileage may vary. I used to see Roccat as a subpar gaming accessories brand, especially for consoles. Stuff that would break. However, this keyboard change my view completely and I enjoy this keyboard. Only issue being that not enough of the keys were remappable or programmable. I would have liked to remap the arrow keys and the second row of keys to the right keyboard (del,end,pg down). I had planned to map this as a numpad but could not.

TLDR; This IS the TKL keyboard youre looking for. Went to Best Buy to get a hands-on (pun intended) experience and was sold. Previously had the Keychron K3v2 and there was something about the horizontal spacing of the keys that caused me to make a lot of typing errors. Ive found I do not need a wrist rest but adding one would likely enhance the typing experience as well. The switches are just loud enough to give good feedback but not loud enough to be annoying. The Swarm software is a little slow but thats just a first-world problem, certainly not a make-or-break type of issue. It has a good weight to it and hasnt slipped around at all, definitely feels like a good quality product for the price.

Sure the actual board is thin, but nothing about this keyboard is low profile. It seems the only company out there delivering on the low profile promise is Redragon. The problem I was trying to solve by replacing my K607P was that it doesnt last long on a charge and has issues with double key presses. Unfortunately this is not anywhere close to as low profile as the Redragon.

Good quality

Pros - Wonderful, beautiful AIMO lighting that is by far the best RGB Ive ever used. - Fun to type on, nice feeling keycaps, lowish profile - Gorgeous to look at - Volume dial is nice, along with the mute button - Nice media function keys built in, although dedicated buttons wouldve been more welcome Cons - You need Roccat Swarm software running in the background to use the beautiful AIMO lighting system. This means I cant use it for my work laptop (cant download outside software) so Im stuck with generic lighting :( - Typing is loud (louder than blue clicky keys to some degree). Spacing and the switches makes my fingers hurt after long periods of time and I make WAY more typos on this than other keyboards (of which I have many, because I love them) - Volume is a turn dial and not something easier like a rolling dial like Logitech G915tkl. I prefer the rolling dial because you can use it with one finger. This Vulcan tkl requires two fingers at least and is heavy to use. Since I have a pull out keyboard draw, its hard to reach. Overall this is a beautiful keyboard to behold but I just cant find a good practical use for it as a main or long-typing driver.

Absolutely solid build and the optical switches are a dream! Also the design is just beautiful!

For starters, this is a gorgeous keyboard - from the RGB, key fonts and symbols, frame etc. However, the typing experience is horrible Understandably mechanical switches are clicky to various degrees depending on the switch, but this keyboard gives bottoming out a whole new meaning. Not to mention the plastic clack on the return of the Cherry reds. If you like the feel and sound of two pieces of plastic pounding together this keyboard fits the bill. And although the unconventional design layout for the keys looks great, I just could not get used to it and was making too many typing errors. On the other hand, I also have an Alienware 510K with the Cherry low profile reds and love it. I threw on a set of clear 40A O-rings to soften the already subtle bottom-out clack even more and the typing experience and sound is awesome.

im still getting used to the linear switches, but overall, its highly accurate, no lag that I can feel or experience in game or otherwise, not the best for typing, for typing id recommend tactile switches, but these are good enough, but for gaming, linear switches are the best

This is the coolest and sleekest looking keyboard I have ever owned. The RGB is wonderful with the clear switches and very small keycaps. I have bullet points below that dive into the usual aspects of a keyboard to help you decide if it is right for you. - RGB galore. Can change the colors of all keys individually if you want with the Swarm software - Key stabilization is really good. - Switches are good. I got Reds and they feel about exactly the same as Cherry Reds. - no desk flex. The keyboard is very sturdy. - the volume knob is awesome. I cannot own a keyboard without dedicated volume somewhere. The knob is pretty great and it is comparable to my old keyboards scroll wheel for volume control. - My only issue with the keyboard is the size of the keycaps themselves. They are pretty small. Because they are small, the gap between keys is quite large compared to an average mechanical keyboard. I havent had any issues typing or gaming but it is definitely noticeable.

This keyboard was a spontaneous purchase, but i am glad I got it. The keyboard has been solid, the software is nice, and it is easy to update the drivers.
